Title: Method for handing off a communications session
Inventor: JAMES HEATH
IPC: H04M3/51
Filed: 2018-01-29
Abstract: A server 132 mediating a communications session between first 118 and second 120 computing devices receives session information from the second device and stores it in a cache 134 with an associated session identifier. When the server then receives a request from the first device, instructing it to establish a session between the second device and a third computing device 148, it outputs an address to which the third device can direct a connection request. After receiving a connection request from the third device and establishing a connection, the server then sends the session information to the device along with a request for it to establish a session with the second device. The server then mediates this new session. The address may be the URL of a webpage, and the creation of the new session may be prompted through the user interface of the second device. The communication session may be a web browser session and the session information may be browser cookies.
